AMC’s “The Walking Dead” franchise returned with new spinoff “The Walking Dead: Dead City” last night, and the series premiere brought a first look at another “TWD” spinoff.

The universe of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” will also expand beyond the confines of the main show with “Daryl Dixon,” a series starring Norman Reedus that’s now in production.

Check out the latest teaser below, which promises a Fall 2023 premiere.

Anne Charrier (“The Last Deadly Mission”), Eriq Ebanouey (“Fox Hunt”), Laika Blanc Francard (“My Night”), Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, and Romain Levi (“The Tunnel”) have been cast as series regulars in “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.”

Clémence Poésy (The Essex Serpent) and Adam Nagaitis (Chernobyl) recently came on board the spinoff series in leading roles, starring alongside Norman Reedus.

“Set after the series conclusion of TWD, the Reedus-led offshoot finds the zombie apocalypse fan favorite transported across the Atlantic to France and a whole new level of a world gone mad. Poesy will play the female lead Isabelle, a member of a progressive religious group, who joins forces with Daryl on a journey across France and finds herself confronting her dark past in Paris. Nagaitis protrays Quinn, a displaced Brit who has become powerful in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer and the owner of the Demimonde, a sexy underground nightclub.”

David Zabel will serve as showrunner for the Daryl Dixon series.

A new teaser has just been released for the most recent The Walking Dead spin-off, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, showing us our first look at the ongoing adventures of the fan-favorite character. The new series is the fifth spin-off in the ever-expanding Walking Dead universe. The new teaser premiered during The Walking Dead: Dead City, which airs Sundays on AMC. The series is expected to premiere this fall.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will show the original series' fan-favorite character on a completely new trek, washed ashore in France with no memory as to how or why he is now across the ocean from his home country. The new series is said to be a 'reset' for the character, whose journeys and battles were covered in the original The Walking Dead series, which ran from 2020-2022. The post apocalyptic series followed the lives of the remaining members of humanity following an outbreak of zombies, known as 'walkers', who overtake society as we know it.
The end of the original series saw Daryl setting off on his own, which apparently resulted in him somehow traversing the ocean and making his way to Europe. New images from the series, released in February, showed Daryl exploring Europe. One image shows Daryl kneeling before a group of people, apparently being held captive. Another image shows him standing near a horse and buggy, teasing a new setting that feels both new and antiquated. The new series will explore how the zombie outbreak has impacted society all the way in Europe.
The New Footage Raises More Questions Than Answers
The new teaser, released on Sunday, gives no more answers to Daryl's new, strange predicament, but it does raise some interesting questions. The teaser, which runs for twenty-seconds, shows an overturned boat. And on top of the boat is Daryl's unconscious body sprawled over the top. The shot cuts to the boat from afar, revealing that Daryl is floating in the middle of a large body of water, alone, with no explanation as to where he is or how he got there. That, of course, will be explored in the upcoming series. You'll just have to wait, and watch, for answers to your questions.
The new series was shot in Paris. Starring alongside Norman Reedus, who reprises his role as Daryl Dixon in the new series, is French actress Clémence Poésy along with Anne Charrier, and Adam Nagaitis among others. The first season of the new series will consist of six episodes, which are set to begin airing this fall. However, no exact release date has yet been set for the show.
